Rob Gorski is an author, influencer, and advocate. He is known on social media as The Autism Dad and we are honored to have him on the show with us.

Rob is a single dad of three kids with autism, and he shares his compelling story of how he started a blog years ago in order to cope with his overwhelming feelings and how that has evolved into him being the internationally-recognized autism advocate that he is today.
